Debra Struzinski, LMFT

Debra speaks plainly and aims to make the first conversation feel manageable for someone under stress. Her work centers on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, and the strain that comes from parenting, relationship conflict, and life changes.

She also addresses issues like grief, addiction, anger, and compassion fatigue. Debra helps people untangle patterns that hurt their self-esteem and sense of purpose.

In sessions she uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding.

Motivational interviewing is used when people want to change habits or tackle addictions. Debra draws on many years of practice to adapt tools to each situation.

That might mean short-term skills for calming anxiety or longer conversations about identity, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust after loss. She pays attention to how family history, adoption or foster care experiences, and workplace stress shape current problems.

People describe her as respectful and straightforward. She focuses on clear goals such as improving communication, reducing panic, or managing mood swings.

Debra aims to make therapy a useful, goal-oriented process that fits into everyday life.
